Illegal Aliens: That Giant Sucking Sound

Race To The Bottom

The most recent national census data indicates over 10% of Mason County’s residents are Hispanic. While the Obama administration prepares for immigration reform/debate, many unemployed Americans question whether the proposal is consistent with charity beginning at home. Demonstrations for immigration reform are nothing less than rallies for lower wages, they say. Between corporate outsourcing of high-wage jobs overseas and U.S. Presidents like Bush arguing Americans don’t want the low paying jobs anyway (carpentry, construction, harvesting, slaughterhouses, child care, auto repair, forest products, home health care, etc.) they can’t feed their families or make Social Security/Medicare contributions, these displaced blue collar citizens moan.

Meanwhile, unprecedented numbers of youth and children are homeless today while the nation’s stock of abandoned/foreclosed homes has never been greater. Seniors, youth, the poor, the homeless, probationers, poor white trash, released inmates, black minorities, indigenous people, high school dropouts, the developmentally challenged–all would prefer to remain unemployed rather than accept the work these immigrants have acquired according to Presidents who are clueless about how much a gallon of milk costs, or a dozen eggs.

Parodying this race to the bottom, a classic South Park episode attempts to make this point through self effacing satire. In GOOBACKSHumans from the year 3045 are traveling to South Park through a recently discovered time portal and are looking for work. When the boys try to earn some extra money, the time-traveling immigrants are willing to do the same work for next to nothing, causing the boys to lose their jobs–a bit raw, but funny stuff…if you’re employed.
